Six Flags Great Adventure Announces New Attraction for 2009 Season

JACKSON, N.J., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Six Flags Great Adventure,
recognized for its award-winning collection of thrill rides, today unveiled
plans to dramatically transform the world's first floorless, looping coaster,
Medusa. The Medusa redesign will deliver a multi-sensory ride experience with
all-new thematics and innovative, state-of-the-art visual, audio and sensory
effects launching it into another dimension of thrills and excitement.
"Since it opened in 1999 as the world's first floorless coaster, Medusa
has been a fan favorite," said Mark Kane, Six Flags Great Adventure Park
President. "This redesign will take one of the park's most popular attractions
to the next level. A similar transformation of the X2 coaster at Six Flags
Magic Mountain in Los Angeles has received widespread acclaim and we expect
the relaunch of this ride to shatter that response. It will be a must-ride
experience."
Six Flags Great Adventure continues to push the envelope -- going far
beyond traditional coasters to offer thrill seekers the exhilaration of a
roller coaster combined with unique storytelling and high tech elements
incorporating fire, fog, water and precisely orchestrated audio production
designed to assault the senses for a world class "show" on a roller coaster.
Unlike traditional coasters, Medusa trains are floorless, giving riders
the sensation of flying as their feet dangle above the track. The B&M coaster
is one of 13 coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure and has delivered more than
9 million rides since its debut. Guests can take advantage of the last chance
to experience Medusa's original Greek mythology theme during the remaining
days of Fright Fest. Compelling details of Medusa's multi-dimensional ride
transformation will be revealed as Spring 2009 draws near.
Guests can experience all that Six Flags Great Adventure has to offer all
season long with a 2009 Season Pass. A Season Pass offers guests unlimited
visits to the theme park and Wild Safari and pays for itself in less than two
visits. When purchasing a Season Pass, guests receive a coupon book featuring
